Weekends in NYC

There was a time when a weekend in NYC was an enchanting thing. I would have plans with friends, personal time, spontaneous adventures night and day.

Now, it's essentially the same as weekdays, only you have to figure out how to spend that time you would spend working on a Monday thru Friday.

Thursday night Travis and I finished the "Little Fires Everywhere" series - which was great, but far more divisive than the book. It covered all the same plot points, included most of the same characters, but dialed up the drama. Not a bad thing per say, but I did love how the original book felt so realistic, which was lost on the translation.

Before the show, we did sing-a-long to "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers for the Essential Workers clap, which I personally found quite meaningful. There were 5 of us that night, and as silly as it may seem, it was heartwarming.

Friday day was the usual, Friday night we played some card games (Travis destroys me with almost every game) and then watched "Cabin in the Woods".

Today, our big event was dressing up and going shopping at Eataly, an Italian-style food market near the WTC site. Travis bought some items to create pizza at home, which I'm looking forward to. We are going to watch "All About Eve" later, which I've never seen and the Times had a big write-up about today.
